The streaming giant reportedly bought the rights from Skydance Media, who backed 6 Underground as well as Netflix’s hit The Old Guard starring Charlize Theron. Reynolds and Levy previously worked together on the upcoming sci-fi action-comedy Free Guy, currently scheduled to release on December 11, 2020.
